Step 2 : Open your cheat engine for process list and choose Firefox.
Step 3 : On the right hand side of the Cheat engine simply tick on Speed hack

Step 4 : Enter your desired speed. Do not increase your speed above 30 as it will encounter timeout.
Note : Make sure you have NO dishes cooking or it will be rollbacked. It’s only for fast eating!

Cafe World Duplicate Items Cheats

Step 1 : Open cafe world, then purchase 3 of the item that you want to duplicate. (3 makes it easier, you can buy 2 if you’re poor but takes longer to shorten the amount of addresses)
Step 2 : Open your cheat engine for process list and choose Firefox.
Step 3 : Put all the 3 items in the inventory, so you’ll see a “x3″ on the item you are duplicating.
Step 4 : Scan 3. Put 1 item into shop. Now it’s “x2″. So you scan 2.

Note: When the game freezes, your dishes are eaten at a fast speed. This cheat can run for a long time IF you have sufficient dishes on the counter. If a message pops up saying that you’ve lost connection, this means that the dish you’re serving has been depleted OR it could just be zyanga’s server screwing up.
This cheat works best with the infinite stove as you can have thousands of dishes allowing this cheat to run for a long time.

Web-based productivity suite Zoho has continued to integrate its products with Google in order to make it easier to use Gmail and Zoho apps simultaneously. Last summer, Zoho, a web-based software suite that includes document, project and invoicing management tools, integrated Google and Yahoo sign-ins, allowing users to sign into Zoho using a Google or Yahoo account. And over the summer, Zoho is launched sign-in integration with Google Apps, letting users login to Zoho using their Google Apps credentials. Today, Zoho’s project collaboration product, Zoho Projects, will become an extended application to Google Apps.

Zoho Projects is a team collaboration and project management application that allows teams to plan, track and collaborate on everyday activities and big projects with external customers. With the new integration, Google Apps users can login to Zoho Projects using their Google Apps sign-in info. Users can then upload their documents from Google Docs to Zoho Projects directly. Any tasks, meetings or activities in Zoho Project will automatically bee updated in Google Calendar. And Zoho Projects gadgets can be embedded within Gmail, iGoogle and any other OpenSocial compatible sites.

The integration comes on the heels of the initial roll out of Google’s own all-in-one, futuristic collaboration tool, Google Wave. But despite facing competition from the big guns like Microsoft and Google, Zoho continues to remain as a player in the document management space thanks to continuous innovations and iterations to its products. It’s almost reminiscent of Salesforce.com’s strategy.

In fact, because of this highly competitive landscape, integrations are vital to the software’s success as an application suite. Recently, Zoho launched integration with Microsoft Sharepoint as well as with Microsoft Access. Zoho’s project management application, Zoho Projects 2.0, also added the capability to import existing projects from MS Project, Microsoft’s project management desktop software. And Zoho also launched a forum tool, called Zoho Discussions. It looks like the startup’s strategy is paying off—Zoho has been able to accumulate 2 million users in just 4 years.

Oh, brother. As we all know so well, the office can be a draining place. But devices such as these could make even the most burnt-out middle manager excited to clock in. The USB PC Prankster looks like a stock flash drive, but as you can clearly see above, a few toggle switches enable it to become quite the headache. Once plugged in, the unlucky PC that it's attached to will have its Caps Lock enabled and disabled at random, see garbled text splattered about quarterly reports and be victim to uncontrollable, erratic cursor movements. Thankfully, the drive will never activate the Enter key nor close or save documents, so you can rest assured that it's all in good fun. Turning your office up on its head costs just £19.99 ($33), but you'll have to wait a tick 'til it comes back in stock.

Confident claims for the ageing game box

With the recent release of Sony’s PS3 Slim (and the absolutely huge sales figures that came with it), everything seems to be coming up roses for the Japanese games giant. It seems Microsoft is well aware that Sony’s downsized console was a winning move, though, as top Xbox exec Aaron Greenberg has gone on record conceding that sales for the month of September will most definitely sway in the PS3’s favour.


- Sony PS3 Slim review


In an interview with Game Informer, Greenberg said: “When NPD releases September sales later today, we fully expect PlayStation 3 will come in as the console with the most units sold for the month. This is frankly not a real surprise.”


However, he then went on to claim that - despite this recent PS3-sales upsurge - Microsoft believes that the Xbox 360 will win out overall: What I can tell you is we remain confident that Xbox 360 will not only outsell PS3 for the full calendar year, but for this entire generation.”


Reeling off the full list of services the 360 provides, including instantly being able to watch HD movies through Xbox LIV (suggesting that such a system is better that the PS3’s Blu-Ray support), it seems that both Greenberg and Microsoft are happy to back the current machine for another few years at least.

Twitter spammers have been put on notice. Starting today, each profile on Twitter now includes a “report [username] for spam” link. When clicked, the feature alerts you that it will immediately block the user and report them to Twitter for review.

To-date, TwitterTwitter has been using the @spam account to allow users to quickly report spam messages via direct message. The “report spam” link should make this process a bit easier for users of the Web interface.

Spam has been an ongoing problem with Twitter as it’s grown in popularity. We’ve discussed how spammers frequently target trending topics, as well as mass follow users in an effort to get them to click on links. Hopefully, this will be another step in alleviating the problem.

Top 5 Gracelessly Aging Characters
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day.

By Scott Sharkey

We all get older, but rarely do videogame characters. Birthday candles mark our slow advance toward death, but Mario never gets a single gray hair in his 'stache. The few exceptions to the eternal youth of game protagonists provide us little hope for our own decrepitude. On those infrequent occasions where time makes its mark on a beloved character, it seldom does so kindly.

5. Sam Fisher
Sam Fisher

Sam Fisher doesn't visibly grow a lot older through the course of the Splinter Cell games, but man, does he ever get a little cranky. And by "get a little cranky" I mean "turn into a complete and total asshole." I can understand taking issue with some of the stuff he's told to do, but by the end, he really seems to be getting off on his passive-agressive rants against his boss, and agressive-agressive "interrogations" of the newbs he gets the drop on. By the last game, all his dialogue sounds like it came out of "shit my dad says."

4. Max Payne
Max Payne

Max is no stranger to personal tragedy, but it's hard to imagine what could have been terrible enough to cause his hair to retract back into his head so fast that it flew out of the bottom of his face. While Max's new look is sure to be a hit with the "I am Jeff Bridges" demographic, it doesn't seem likely to go over well with people who are not Jeff Bridges. Who, I am told, comprise the entire population of the earth, minus one.

3. Solid Snake
Solid Snake

As kind of the poster child for the process of aging, Snake does so at a rate accelerated by genetic tampering and chain smoking. In fact, the ravaging effects time has on his body are only eclipsed by what it does to his fashion sense. The message is clear: Age slows you down and makes you cough, but even worse, it causes misguided experimentation with facial hair and mullets.

2.Bomberman
Bomberman

I realize Act: Zero was supposed to be some kind of weird reboot or spinoff, but I prefer to imagine that the little doughboy character of the old games finally grew up into awkward teenagerhood. And, naturally, he compensated for a childhood of complete and total wussdom with the robotic equivalent of bleached hair and a black trench coat. Nobody understands Bomberman.

1. Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong

Apparently the O.G. Donkey Kong grew up to become Donkey Kong Country's rocking chair-bound complainer Cranky Kong. I never kept up with Donkey Kong canon, but Parish assured me that this is the truth. You know, while we sat around in rocking chairs and bitched about how videogames ain't like they were back in the day.

We'vehttp://up2.podbean.com/image-logos/35191_logo.jpg all
had our moments of gamer rage -- times when we just want to break stuff
due to frustration with out shared hobby of controlling moving pixels
on a screen. One StarCraft fan, however, has been reported to have
taken gamer rage to a whole new, more lethal level.


Over in Sweden,
an 18-year-old gamer apparently got so pissed when he lost his internet
connection during a StarCraft game that he picked up a kitchen knife,
went out on the street, and stabbed the first person he saw.


This
person turned out to be a 15-year-old girl, who subsequently suffered
multiple stab wounds. Luckily, the girl survived. The attacker has
since been charged with attempted manslaughter due to a "psychiatric
component" (the attack took place in August), although the prosecutor
wanted him to be tried for attempted murder instead.

Haven't you guys raged before while in game?

Not allowed to tweet at work? Obviously your bosses aren’t aware of Twitter’s inestimable marketing value. Until you can prove them wrong, you’ll have to tweet on the sly. Spreadtweet provides a Twitter interface that looks like a spreadsheet.

No, this isn’t some lame “boss key” like you remember from the 80s. Spreadtweet offers three versions, one each for Office 2003, Office 2007, and Office for Mac, that look exactly like their counterparts — and offer full Twitter interaction. Take a peek at the Office 2007 version:

After signing into your Twitter account, Spreadtweet displays your messages as cells. Want to send a tweet? Just click the in What are you doing? field (normally where formulas go) and type your message.

Only upon very close inspection would anyone discover that you were not, in fact, working in Excel. My only complaint is that I work alone, in a home office, so I can’t put this to productive (make that unproductive) use.

Spreadtweet requires Adobe Air. If you don’t have it or aren’t allowed to install it, there’s a Web-based version that’s not nearly as good — but probably better than nothing if you just gotta tweet. Love this thing. It’s ingenious and kind of hilarious. [via MakeUseOf]

Sphere? - Image 1From a blogger's perspective, having to go, "PS3 motion controller this, PS3 motion controller that" over and over can get pretty tiresome. I've wanted a name for this thing for quite some time now, and if the new rumors have it right, I'm about to get my wish.

According to this rumor, the name is short, single-syllable, and points to the color-changing orb topping the wand. The new name for the PS3 motion controller might be "Sphere."

Rumor has it that Sony developers use "Sphere" to refer to the motion controller, makes much sense, considering that the sphere on top of the wand draws a lot of attention. In an interview at TGS 09, Sega producer Yasuhito Baba and his translator both name-dropped "Sphere." And when Joystiq quizzed Kazunori Yamauchi about Gran Turismo supporting Sphere, the developer seemed to know what Sphere referred to and what it was capable of.

Joystiq went and asked a few Sony reps, but the replied that they are unfamiliar with the "Sphere" name. Richard Marks and Anton Mikhailov, the duo behind the PS3 motion controller, have yet to be heard calling it by that name.

So far, it seems that it's just a development nickname so that everyone would be saved the trouble of having to pronounce all eight syllables of "PS3 motion controller" over and over. Whether or not Sphere will catch on as the controller's official name is still in the air.

SEATTLE (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp said on Monday that passwords belonging to some users of its Hotmail email service were exposed on an Internet site, but had since been taken down.

The company did not say how many users were affected, but some reports suggested that passwords to more than 10,000 accounts were exposed.

"We are aware that some Windows Live Hotmail customers' credentials were acquired illegally by a phishing scheme and exposed on a website," a Microsoft spokesman said.

Phishing is a scam whereby fraudsters get hold of personal information by sending out emails under the guise of a bank, IT department or some other trustworthy source.

Microsoft said the passwords had been removed from the offending website, which it did not identify, and said it had blocked access to all affected accounts and was helping users to reclaim their Hotmail accounts.

The software company said the exposure of the passwords was not a breach of any Microsoft servers.

Remember to check back here for the latest Updates on PSP GO hacking scene! Follow me on twitter!




Mere days after the PSP Go hit retail stores to mixed reactions on 1 Oct, hacker Freeplay has managed to exploit some existing security vulnerabilities on a certain PSP gameand ran an unsigned code on it. The hack reportedly took advantage of modified save data files and restricted to user mode only – meaning changing the existing files on flash is impossible (no custom firmware flashing). For now, Freeplay has no plans to share the hack till he gets more help but at least we have concrete proof that the Go isn't homebrew-proof after all...definitely great news for PSP homebrew developers!

“While Sony went to great lengths towards preventing a repeat of the Pandora battery hack on PSPgo, they evidently forgot to patch up some existing security vulnerabilities on the software side. Mere days after the launch of the new hardware, homebrew developer FreePlay has managed to run unsigned code on it. Above is a video clip showing off his efforts in the form of a hello world proof of concept.”

REDMOND, Wash. — Sept. 28, 2009 — Microsoft Security Essentials, Microsoft Corp.’s new no-cost, core anti-malware service that helps protect consumers against viruses, spyware and other malicious software, will be available tomorrow, Tuesday, Sept. 29. Microsoft Security Essentials, independently certified by West Coast Labs, is backed by the company’s global security response team and is built on the same award-winning core security technology found in the company’s security solutions for businesses. It requires no registration, trials or renewals and will be available for download directly from Microsoft at http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials.

Making Microsoft Security Essentials broadly available as a free consumer download for genuine Windows-based PCs is part of Microsoft’s ongoing commitment to provide a more trustworthy computing experience for all customers. By making Microsoft Security Essentials easy to get and easy to use, Microsoft hopes to encourage broader adoption of anti-virus protection across the consumer audience, which in turn will help increase security across the entire Windows ecosystem. For business customers, Microsoft continues to offer Forefront Client Security, providing centralized, comprehensive management and reporting capabilities.

Maximum Security, Minimum Resource Requirements

Microsoft Security Essentials is designed to run quietly in the background alerting users only when there is an action for them to take. It also limits CPU and memory usage, resulting in less impact on the tasks consumers perform every day such as opening documents or browser windows or loading search results, even on older or less powerful PCs. Microsoft Security Essentials uses real-time protection to help prevent PCs from becoming infected, and it is the first Microsoft security product to make use of the company’s new Dynamic Signature Service, a technology that helps ensure users stay protected by the most current virus definitions available without having to wait for the next scheduled download.

Microsoft Security Essentials will be available for Windows XP SP2 or SP3, Windows Vista and Windows 7 including Windows XP mode on both x86 and x64 PCs. Microsoft Security Essentials will be available in eight languages and 19 countries including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.

More information about Microsoft Security Essentials and the product download is available at http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials.

I would seriously recommend you guys to download this as it is currently the best so far...uses very little resources and really protects your computer!

The organiser said it has met Ms Low and her parents and 'they have agreed to allow their daughter to resign from the crown as we feel is in the best interest for the Miss Singapore World Pageant and Singapore at large. -- PHOTO: ERM


MISS Ris Low has resigned as Miss Singapore World 2009, days after her past conviction for credit card fraud was exposed.

The organiser of the local beauty pageant, ERM World Marketing, said in a statement on Tuesday afternoon she will no longer represent Singapore at Miss World 2009 in South Africa.

ERM said it will be interviewing a new representative to represent Singapore at Miss World 2009 in the coming days and will announce her shortly.

The organiser said it has met Ms Low and her parents and 'they have agreed to allow their daughter to resign from the crown as we feel is in the best interest for the Miss Singapore World Pageant and Singapore at large'.

'We are accepting her resignation,' said ERM.

On Ms Low's conviction in May and her bipolar disorder, ERM said there was no way of checking if a contestant has a criminal record or suffering from depression.

'Ris Low was determined, well behaved and performed well throughout the 2 month competition and even went on to win eight special awards. This is not easy task to accomplish from a group of 22 contestants. With her good performance and beauty, she excelled in the competition.'

On her command of English language, which has been criticised by the public, the organiser said: 'We felt that person who made fun of her on YouTube was malicious and did not do her justice. The video clip was presented in a way to ridicule her.

'The incident was a one-time interview which misled the Singapore public to believe she spoke English poorly. During the Grand Finals competition held at the Shangri La hotel on the July 31, she spoke perfectly good English, had a good answer (short, sharp and sweet) and performed very well to impress the 11 judges that she was good enough to win.

'So perhaps her spoken English could also be an effect from her Bipolar disorder.'

ERM said it felt sorry for Miss Low but added: 'We cannot compromise on our contest rules, regulations and the image of the Miss Singapore World Pageant.'

ERM, which broke its silence only on Monday said it did not give any comments earlier to the media and press because 'we were taken aback by this incident and we did not have any documentary evidence to justify the allegations and could be faced with legal implications later'.

'Ris Low committed this offence as a young offender, and we had to be sensitive to handle any comments delicately where a young offender is concerned. The treatment would be different if she was over 21 years of age,' it added.

'We would like to add that this is the first time in Singapore beauty pageant history that such an incident has occurred. We had to be careful with the approach.'
